Chapter 556: The Missing Bride
"What? Miss Akane is gone? β
On the way to Huis Ten Bosch Palace, Gao Cheng accidentally ran into Xiaolan in a hurry.
"That's right," Xiaolan gasped, "Sister Xiaoqian, she is not in the lounge now, her wedding dress is taken off and put on the chair, and no one else can be found anywhere......"
"Huh?" Yuan Zi was a little anxious and said, "Then what now?" The ring hasn't been found yet, and Sister Xiaoqian is gone! β
"Let's split up and look for it."
Gao Cheng frowned slightly.
"There should be witnesses ...... anyway"
"What's wrong?" Junichi Takahashi walked over suspiciously, "Aren't you looking for a ring?" β
"We found out that Sister Xiaoqian had suddenly disappeared," Xiaolan explained, "so we were discussing how to find her." β
"What? The bride is missing? Junichi Takahashi was surprised, "I'll go tell the old lady about them, let's look for it together!" If something happens, it's bad......"
Gao Cheng was about to lead the team to find someone first, but before leaving, he still glanced at Junichi Takahashi, who was running towards the hotel, and asked Conan to quietly follow him.
As for the identity of Junichi Takahashi, he is very suspicious that it is Akane Katori's fiancΓ© ten years ago, and at this juncture, he always feels that it is too coincidental that this guy appeared in Huis Ten Bosch.
"Are you still suspicious of him?" Conan asked subconsciously.
"No way, I always feel that he deliberately approached the Dahe family, anyway, it's right to be careful."
β¦β¦
"Hello, have you seen this person?"
In the vicinity of Huis Ten Bosch Palace, tourists come and go, and the garden takes photos and asks people around, but the flow of tourists in the park is too great, and the shop staff or staff rarely pay attention to individual tourists.
However, the garden did not give up, and kept asking in various stores.
"The same short hair as in the photo, should be wearing a pink one-piece dress......"
"How's it going?" Gao Cheng was still thinking about his thoughts, and Junichi Takahashi suddenly came over with everyone from the Oga family, "Have you found Miss Xiaoqian?" β
"Not ...... yet"
Gao Cheng looked at Conan who was following behind.
The old lady is still the same, except for Oga Mazai's parents, everyone else doesn't seem to care much.
"I see, she must not be able to stay, so she ran away first," Mika Oga said in a sour voice, "Maybe she stole the ring herself!" β
"We went to Huis Ten Bosch Gate and asked," Gao Cheng shook his head, "Miss Xiaoqian probably hasn't left here." β
"Hmph," the old lady said suddenly, "as far as I know, that Xiaoqian used to have a marriage partner that her parents helped her agree on, and I think she should continue to associate with that man now, right?" So this time, maybe it was a drama she designed to humiliate Maza's face from the beginning......"
"Grandma!" Ohga Mazaya said urgently, "Impossible, I know very well what kind of person Xiaoqian is!" β
"That's great," Oga Mika said with a smile, "I also think grandma has a point, in fact, you were deceived by that woman at all, don't people say that love is blind?" β
"Xiaoqian's fiancΓ© was already ten years ago......"
"Okay, really," interrupted Uncle Mochida, "no matter what, now that there is no bride, it seems that the wedding cannot go ahead as usual, which has affected the credit of our Oga Group." β
"Uncle Mochida......"
"If this engagement is really canceled like this, I think it would be better for the chairman to reconsider your proposal to be promoted to vice chairman."
Gao Cheng looked at the people of the Dahe family with a delicate atmosphere, and his eyes turned to Conan again.
"There's nothing strange about it for the time being," Conan withdrew his gaze from Junichi Takahashi and whispered to Gao Cheng, "Could Miss Xiaoqian find any clues from that photo and go to find it by herself?" β
"It's indeed possible," Gao Cheng smiled bitterly, "But I took a closer look on the way here just now, and there doesn't seem to be anything related to hydrangeas here, and you know that I'm not very good at passwords, especially this kind of code that I don't know who left it." β
"I'll leave it to you then," Conan said decisively, "I'll look for clues to the ring!" β
"This guy ......"
Gao Cheng helplessly watched Conan run away.
When I'm with this guy, although I'll always encounter some troubles, it's really much easier to get things done, and the last plane crash was also thanks to this guy's help.
Is Conan a plague god or a god of good fortune? What an esoteric question.
Let's say it's the plague god.,The incident itself doesn't seem to have anything to do with Conan.,It's just that I happened to meet it.,It's said to be a god of blessing.,Wherever you go, the aura of the accident even Officer Twilight can't look at it.γ
A medieval antique street, when Yuan Zi asked Xiaolan about the cheese stand, he finally had a harvest.
"Joto!" Yuanzi happily shouted at Gao Cheng, "This sister said that she saw Sister Xiaoqian!" β
"Really?" Gao Cheng looked at a young clerk in front of the cart stall.
"Yes," the young clerk nodded, "I had just come back from my lunch break, and I must have seen the girl enter the hut on the other side of the windmill at about one o'clock...... Are you the Detective Takatari Shiroto? β
"Uh, yes, thank you so much."
Gao Cheng took the lead and walked into the windmill cabin, which was empty and there was no one at all, but a high heel was still found on the floor on the second floor.
"These are Akane's shoes," Oga Saya clutched his high heels and became more and more anxious, "Akane has really been here, something must have happened......"
"Don't worry, Mr. Oga."
Gao Cheng forced himself to calm down, turned to the people of the Dahe family behind him, paused, and asked, "Where is everyone at about one o'clock?" β
"Are you suspicious of us, Detective Joto?" The old lady was not worried at all and said, "I was sorting out the account books in the restaurant at that time. β
Masaya Oga's father continued, "My wife and I stayed at the hotel and didn't go anywhere. β
"Hmph," Oga Mika didn't like Gao Cheng, but she said honestly, "At one o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Frisland to ride a horse. β
"I didn't go anywhere," Mochida explained, "because I thought the wedding ceremony wouldn't happen, so I drank in the lounge." β
"What about Mr. Takahashi?"
"Well...... this"
Junichi Takahashi took out his digital camera and said, "At one o'clock, I should be at the Crystal Dream Theater because I want to go there and shoot some old glass...... Yes, that's right, it's one o'clock. β
Gao Cheng took the camera and found that there was a photo of the flower bed clock in front of the Crystal Dream Theater.
The pointer is exactly one point, but it's weird that the time was taken, and the digital photo doesn't show the time it was taken.
Flower bed clocks don't have dials at all, so if you find a good angle, it's not impossible to fake it......
Gao Cheng glanced at Junichi Takahashi without a trace: "Can you lend me the camera temporarily?" β
If Katori's disappearance is related to Junichi Takahashi, judging by the approximate angle of the long and short needles, as well as the appropriate angle from which to take the photo, the photograph should have been taken sometime after one o'clock, and Akane Katori was hidden somewhere between the windmill and the flower clock.
But we still need to see it on the ground......
"Of course," Junichi Takahashi said with a gentle smile, "If there's anything you can do to help, just tell me, as long as you can find Miss Akane." β
"I'm sure I'll find it." Gao Cheng also smiled lightly.
